Don't give short answers. Take a tough question as a chance to bring out what your achievements are. Always exaggerate.

On the promotion thing, you can always say that you have been told you're a good performer but just that the scholar system (which is an open secret) puts you at a disadvantage. Claim that you boss had wanted to promote you last year, but the recommendation was rejected at the n-th in the leveling exercise, again due to scholars-first policy.

Learn to lie.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
